Torture of US Detainees : "a joint U.S.-Iraqi inspection of the "Site 4" Iraqi National Police (INP) detention complex discovered more than 1,400 detainees in squalid, cramped conditions. Forty-one detainees interviewed had bruising and lash-marks consistent with violent physical abuse. Thirty-seven juveniles were illegally held at the facility, many alleging sexual abuse. Ministry of Interior (MOI) officials appear to have been comfortable engaging in large-scale violence against detainees at a well-known Baghdad facility that had been officially inspected twice since December 2005 (and visited unofficially half-a-dozen times by Post), indicating that MOI's capture-and-confess culture is Unabashedly tolerant of physical abuse. Of the forty-one detainees interviewed on May 30 who displayed bruising, broken bones, and lash-marks, many claimed to have been hung by handcuffs from a hook in the ceiling and beaten on the soles of their feet and their buttocks. A hook was discovered on the ceiling of an empty room at the facility; attached was a chain-and-pulley system ordinarily used for lifting vehicles. Apparent bloodspots stained the floor underneath.A number of juvenile detainees, mostly young teenagers, alleged sexual abuse at the hands of MOI personnel -- specifically, that MOI interrogators had used threats and acts of anal rape to induce confessions and had forced juveniles to fellate them during interrogations. These allegations were also raised independently with inspectors by adult detainees who claimed knowledge of juvenile rapes." This cable is but the tip of the iceberg of a litany of abuses that have emerged from the contressional CIA torture report, which includes rectal rehydration and rectal feeding of detainees.^[1][2]

Valerie Plame CIA Leak Scandal : The George W Bush Administration's Richard Armitage leaked the identity of a covert CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press as retribution for her husband's publication of an op-ed in the New York Times doubting the veracity of statement by President Bush that "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa". In 2002, Plame wrote a ' memo to her superiors in which she expressed her hesitance to recommend her husband, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson, to the CIA for a mission to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had arranged to purchase and import uranium from the country, but stated that he "may be in a position to assist"'. In mid 2003, her husband published the op-ed in NYT. Suggesting that between the two, they had insider knowledge that the Bush Administration was trying to do something sneaky like manufacture a false story about Hussein, or kill Wilson in some false flag, coerce him into lying, psychop him, trade him to terrorists, etc. Either way, Bush was butthurt he couldn't use Plame's husband in some nefarious way, and punished her by destroying her cover and ending her career.

Waco Seige : Seventh Day adventist based religious group in Texas was beseiged by US forces, and burned to death for not surrendering their leader, because their leader David Koresh was busy furiously writing his religious visions at the time of the seige, and had already told them he would surrender when finished. (The US Government murdered those people. So now, when you meet a Seventh Day adventist, do you feel safer, knowing they've been put in their place?) [U,P]
